What to get Dad: nine gifts that suit him
A dad rarely says what he would like, and he already owns the drill. What really pleases him is seeing that you remember. The DAD poster is the most direct way: every letter is filled with one of your photos, the beach, the match, a Sunday with the family, anywhere from one to twelve, and you watch it come together before you pay. For the wrist, the bracelet engraves the word PAPA, French for Dad, with his children’s initials. If he has a passion, his car or motorbike becomes a vintage poster from his photo, or you turn him into a 1929 motorcyclist. And if he runs, cycles or walks, his route is printed on a map. On budget: an A4 poster is €19.90, a large one reaches €69.90, and the bracelet stays at €23.90. For Father’s Day, order ten days ahead: everything is made to order in the workshop.

Personalised Dad definition poster — your photos and his dictionary entry
When he already has everything, a dictionary entry in his name: “Dad, noun”, three meanings his children will recognise — the eternal shortcut, the nap with “eyes closed” — and their photos underneath. It gets read aloud, and he laughs first.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Pops photo poster in a square — your photos in the letters
The word in a square: POPS on two lines, each of the four letters filled with a photo. The poster you read from across the room, with a “The best… in the world!” above it. Pick it when you have four strong photos rather than twelve ordinary ones.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Dad photo poster — your photos in the letters
The word DAD, every letter filled with one of your photos: the beach, the stadium, the Sunday barbecue. One to twelve photos, a line around them like “The best dad in the world”, and a preview that matches what gets printed.
From €8.90
-
Personalised car or motorbike poster — your vehicle as a vintage poster
A photo of his car, motorbike or tractor turns into an old advertising poster, set on a seaside, mountain or country road. The title, motto and caption are yours, and you see the poster in about thirty seconds.
From €8.90
-
Personalised Magnat-Debon vintage motorbike poster 1929 — your photo as a period rider
Your photo replaces the face of the rider on a 1929 poster: leather jacket, aviator goggles, scarf in the wind. A dad who loves engines will spot it straight away, and the line on the right side is yours to write.
From €8.90
-
Personalised star map poster
The sky over your house or the maternity ward on the day he became a dad. A date a father does not forget, with the exact stars and a few words from his children underneath.
From €8.90

Watercolour family portrait poster, personalised — your photo, painted
One photo of the whole family, painted in watercolour with the name underneath: the gift for children who only have one picture where everybody looks at the camera. The preview is ready in about thirty seconds.
From €8.90
-
Personalised route poster — your run, your hike, your trip
For a father who runs, cycles or walks: his GPX track, or a well-known route, drawn on a map with the distance and the climb. The poster of an outing he tells everyone about.
From €8.90

PAPA, MAMAN, PAPI… Bracelet – Children’s Initials
The word PAPA, French for Dad, on the cherry wood plate with a small heart, and his children’s initials under it, up to five. The cord adjusts with knots, so there is no clasp to fiddle with: handy for a man who has never worn jewellery.
€23.90

Frequently asked questions
What do you get a dad who has everything?
A gift where he finds his children: the DAD poster, where each letter is a photo, or the bracelet with their initials. He needs no more objects, but he will want to keep that one. If he has a passion, a poster of his car or motorbike works too.
What is an original gift for Father’s Day?
The DAD poster made of your photos, because it is one of a kind and you notice it as you walk into a room. For a father who loves old machines, his own car as a vintage poster is not something you find elsewhere. You see the result before you order.
What is a gift for Dad that does not cost too much?
A printed A4 poster is €19.90 and a bracelet €23.90. With a few brothers and sisters, a 30 × 40 is easy to split. There is nothing else to buy, and delivery is free once your purchases reach €49.
When is Father’s Day?
In Ireland and France, the third Sunday in June. In Germany, Ascension Day, always a Thursday. In Spain, 19 March. Order a week ahead for France, ten days elsewhere: 48 hours in the workshop, then the transport, two days longer outside France.
I only have photos from my phone. Is that enough?
Yes, that is the usual case. You add them from your phone, and the editor warns you if one of them is too small. The photos are only used to make the poster, and they are deleted thirty days after dispatch.
